Brothers and sisters of Muslim Magomayev. Muslim Magomayev - biography, information, personal life. City portal of Orenburg - a convenient information platform

Thirty years ago, some tipsy man climbed up to my stage at the 69th Parallel restaurant and briskly declared: “I bet a box of cognac with a neighbor on the table that you are the brother of the famous Muslim Magomayev!” - Yuri Magomayev recalls with a sad smile.

In the youth of the Murmansk musician, such shameless questions irritated utterly, especially when the foot of a stranger tried to set foot in the soul. So at that time the keyboardist and singer answered the importunate music lover briefly and clearly:

You bet your neighbor a case of cognac...

And only the closest friends knew that Murmansk resident Yuri Magomayev was not only a relative of the great singer of the Soviet Union, but also his own, or rather, as they used to say in the old days, a mother's brother.

simple story

From childhood, my mother raised me with my sister in modesty. I'm even in Murmansk high school No. 35 and at the music school No. 1 was listed in class magazines under the neutral surname Kinzhalov. And only when I received a passport at the age of sixteen did my real name. I entered the Murmansk Music College already Magomaev.

The history of the Magomayev family is simple and bitter, like the history of many families in the forties and fatal. The girl Aishet got married in Baku to the theater artist Magomet Magomayev literally on the eve of the war. In 1942, the boy Muslim was born, and his father went to the front and died in battle a few days before the Victory in the 45th.

Aishet Akhmedovna, a Stalinist GITIS scholarship holder, fully tasted the charms of the nomadic life of a provincial actress. Theaters in Vyshny Volochek, Tver, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Chimkent, Ulan-Ude.

Time has proven that my mother acted wisely, not dragging Muslim along on tour. He showed great abilities for music, and to get a full-fledged musical education he could only in his native Baku. Therefore, they decided that he would live in the family of his brother deceased father, although my mother once could not stand it and took the boy with her to Tver, - says Yuri.

But life is life. A dozen years after the death of her husband, Aishet Akhmedovna met her stage colleague Leonty Kavka in Ulan-Ude. Yuri was born here in 1958.

After all, in my birth certificate in the column "father" there was a dash, - Yuri Leontievich sighs philosophically. - Soviet authority did not recognize civil marriages, although we lived all our lives as one family.

The magnificent keyboard player buried his parents already in the Arctic Circle - twenty years ago his father, an actor of the Murmansk Drama Theater, and in 2003 his mother, a retired actress of our own regional one.

Former "Constellation"

In the regional drama, my mother was invited to serve in the cast in 1971. Thirteen-year-old Yuri, after the Central Asian Chimkent, seemed to have landed on another cold planet. But the planet was inhabited good people especially musicians.

While still a student of our music school, first in the piano class, and then in the pop department, the budding keyboardist began working professionally in the VIA "Constellation" of the House of Culture of Railway Workers on Oktyabrskaya Street.

The seventies were the heyday of vocal and instrumental ensembles both in the country and in Murmansk, - says Alan Price, a slightly gray-haired polar bear (the name of the wonderful English keyboard player from the Animals is not mentioned in vain). - At that time, each of our recreation centers had its own VIA, which consisted mainly of graduates and students of the music school. In "Kirovka" the ensemble "Second Wind" shone, in Pervomaisky Palace of Culture "Aelita" thundered, in the sailors' club "Aspiration" was lit. All of us were full-time units, received a salary as musical specialists at dances.

Oh, those dance evenings in the capital of the Arctic in the old days, before Christmas discos! The main meeting place for young people of both sexes, an indisputable reason for creating many future families. For dancing in the same "piece of iron" people were packed twice as much as the official capacity of the dance hall in the foyer on the ground floor.

It's a thing of the past, but the then director of the Palace of Culture managed to sell movie tickets under the guise of dance tickets. Attendance on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays grew from three hundred people to six hundred, and at the same time the plan for film distribution was exceeded! - Yuri Magomayev reveals the secret of mass cultural cuisine.

He is getting younger before our eyes from dreams of that atmosphere of the 1975 holiday. He still meets with the bass player of the former "Constellation" Alexander Ignatenko, who now plays music in the Song and Dance Ensemble Northern Fleet and at the same time sings in the popular North Sea vocal quartet "Senator", comparable in terms of performance level with the famous Turetsky choir. But the drummer Victor Varnik moved away from music, he is a doctor by education, he plunged into medicine with his head. Guitarist Andrey Karpenko left Murmansk long ago for middle lane. And only the vocalist of "Constellation" Vyacheslav Usov to this day works hand in hand with Magomayev in the same musical field.

I am happy that I no longer played at dances, when in the late 70s soulless mechanized discos began to force out live musicians from Murmansk recreation centers and clubs, - the wise veteran of the dance floors throws a heartfelt remark.

ironic optimism

At the turn of the seventies and eighties, at least twenty restaurants functioned in port Murmansk. Perhaps this was a kind of USSR record among small regional centers (for example, in Kursk, which was absolutely equal then to Murmansk in terms of the number of inhabitants - 380 thousand, there were only three restaurants).

And in each such "catering establishment with the highest category margins" in the evenings played their own ensemble, which determined the status of the restaurant, unlike canteens and cafes. It is curious that it was almost impossible to get into any such institution after 18 o'clock. the northern quarters were full of people, and without a three-ruble note, a porter would not get in. However, excuse me, I went too far - in the mid-70s, a solid Soviet ruble was enough, which officially cost one and a half times more expensive than the American dollar. pass the evening culturally, unless, of course, you spend money on ordering songs in fives.

Another country. Other people. Ironic optimism of the golden age of stagnation.

It was not in vain that I attached the epithet "port" to the name of our city. Thousands and thousands of Murmansk fishermen, returning from fishing, practiced pre-booking tables by radiogram to the administration of a particular restaurant - "half the hall for the entire crew!"

It was the sailors who brought fresh records from abroad, which instantly became popular in the city. So I got acquainted with the solo work of the great keyboardists Jon Lord from Deep Purple and Alan Price from Animals, - says Yuri. - And when the English film "Oh, Lucky Man!" was released on the screens of Murmansk in 1976, where Alan Price sang his songs from the 1973 soundtrack of the same name to the electric organ, I included them all in my repertoire, simply removing the tracing paper from tape recorder. Nothing can be done, the public insisted. But soon everyone was eclipsed by the brilliant song "Hotel California" by the Eagles. That was an unconditional hit of the Murmansk taverns, as well as the song "For me, you are not more beautiful" by Yuri Antonov.

Magomayev then played in the ensemble of the most prestigious restaurant in the city at the 69th Parallel Hotel, which had just opened in the Valley of Comfort. It was a splendid place. On the first floor there was a fireplace room, where the tape recorder played through the hi-fi acoustics hits "Boni M" and "Bee Gees" that had switched to the new disco faith. On the second floor there is a real huge bar with a long bar and high seats. Bars had just entered into an acute fashion, there were two more small ones at the Panorama restaurant near Semenovskoye Lake and at the Sever Hotel on Profsoyuz Street. The long-term constructions "Arktika" and "Meridian" had not yet been erected then, annoying the townspeople with eternal scaffolding and fences.

Buildings of the century! - out of habit, the Murmansk residents sneered at the planned economy, buying fresh cod for 46 kopecks in a fish store near Five Corners.

Meridians and parallels

Our ensemble, by the way, opened the Meridian restaurant in 1985, - Magomayev drops modestly, but with dignity. - And, apparently, it was there the next year that Vladimir Mulyavin from Pesnyary heard me.

And it was like that. In 1986, the most famous Belarusian ensemble "Pesnyary" arrived in the capital of the Arctic for the first time. And he stopped at the Meridian Hotel. And at a concert in the Kirov Palace of Culture, Yuri Magomayev was led backstage and introduced to the founding father of "Pesnyary" by the famous Murmansk pianist Vladimir Chaly (by the way, the work of the late Vladimir Lukich is now successfully continued by his son, keyboardist Oleg Chaly, who created a high-quality jazz trio in Greece) . So, Mulyavin suggested that our Magomayev come to Minsk and try to work with the Pesnyars. And he had in mind not only the virtuoso possession of the keys, but also Yuri's interesting baritone. After all, it was Pesnyary that introduced high fashion to Soviet stage its amazing polyphony.

Yes, what kind of Belarusian am I! - the Murmansk resident now comments with humor on his polite refusal of the offer, which promised golden pop mountains.

Yes, what a Kazakh I am! - he said even when, ten years earlier, in Shymkent he rejected an offer to join the Arai group, now popularly known under the name A-studio.

What kind of Finn am I! - also joked the polar Magomayev, who received a flattering offer ten years later to remain a professional performer in Finland, which he traveled all over in the 90s with performances.

But perhaps the most tempting musical offer, capable of radically turning life around, Yuri Magomayev nevertheless received from his brother, the legendary Muslim.

Orchestra Man

Around 1978, when Yuri in again came to Moscow to see his brother, Muslim in all seriousness asked the young Murmansk pianist to become his full-time accompanist, that is, to play along with the singer both at rehearsals, on stage, and on numerous tours. But the young man was just at that romantic age when he wanted to achieve everything himself, and even more so without kindred patronage. In general, he laughed it off again.

Muslim first met me when I was still a two-year-old baby and my mother took me with her to his wedding in Baku, - says Yuri. - But about fifteen years later, my mother and my sister Tatyana went to Moscow for his second wedding with the singer Tamara Sinyavskaya, but I don’t remember what I was doing at the music school. In 1996, Muslim came to Murmansk, performed at the Philharmonic, came to visit us in our apartment on Samoilova Street.

By the way, in the Moscow apartment of Muslim Magomayev, Yuri for the first time touched with his hands the rarest instrument at that time in the USSR, which feeds him today.

Muslim himself was an excellent pianist, but when I saw a synthesizer in his house at the end of the 70s, and not one, but two - solid American brands "Profet" and "Polymug", I was amazed. Although Muslim has always been modern man, and new sounds seemed curious to him. Could I then have thought that in thirty years the synthesizer would become my musical destiny, - the keyboardist reflects.

Today Yury Magomaev successfully works as a sort of man-orchestra at numerous corporate parties, anniversaries, celebrations, he has traveled all over the region with performances. A modern synthesizer allows him to play with his own hands and enter into the computer memory in advance the parts of various instruments from drums to saxophone, turn on his own arrangements at the right time, but at the same time play the lead keyboard part live. And how he sings!

The other day I happened to visit the anniversary of the "Teaching Brotherhood" of Murmansk physical education teachers, which was celebrated at the restaurant "Polyarnye Zori". The man-orchestra Magomayev played and sang. So only a great master can captivate the audience with songs.

At home, Yuri has a small recording studio, where he prepares material for the first disc of his own compositions. He forbade his wife Svetlana, an accountant by profession, to work, rightly believing that a housewife is one of the most difficult professions, and a man should still feed his family. He named his two-year-old daughter in honor of his beloved mother - Aya, a diminutive of Aishet.

Standing on October 28, 2008 in the Great Hall of the Conservatory, where all of Moscow said goodbye to Muslim, for some reason I remembered how for the first time in my life he took me, a provincial, to the Bolshoi Theater to listen to a live opera. He was a very witty man, a lover of funny practical jokes, but he did not play a joke on his smaller brother. My life, albeit in its shadow, turned out to be quite happy. And the only thing I may regret is that I didn’t leave myself, getting a passport, my mother’s stage name - Kinzhalov.

Magomayev singers cannot be two.

Yuri Yurievich Magomaev is widely known as a singer and author of his own compositions. The great popularity of the nephew of Muslim Magomayev is by no means obliged only to his famous relative. Yura has personal talents that helped him achieve success in his work. The singer has his own music albums and several well-known hits.

Biography of Yuri Magomaev. Start

In the city of Murmansk on September 12, 1979, Yura Magomayev was born. Further fate The baby was identified by his mother. From early childhood, she hired piano tutors for him. Upon reaching the age of seven, the boy entered a music school, at the same time participating in a choir for boys located in the Kirov Palace of Culture.

TO creative biography Yuri Magomayev also had a hand in the sister of Muslim Magomayev - Tatyana. With her light filing, the young talent took up ballroom dancing. Classes were held in the Inter-Union Palace. But Yura did not appreciate the impulse of his own aunt and soon gave up these classes. Tatyana believed that Muslim Magomayev's nephew should be talented not only in the musical direction, but also in the dance. However, this direction in Yura's creative life was not given to come true.

After graduating from school, Yuri Magomaev decided to enter the music school in the pop department. But this did not happen, as the future artist began to earn a livelihood early, forgetting about his studies. Upon reaching the age of eighteen, he had already managed to work in various restaurants in his native city.

early years

Three years later, he went to work seasonally in Sochi. For ten years, life continued in such a monotonous way. After seasonal work, in winter, Muslim Magomayev's nephew sometimes returned to his native city. By 2006, Yuri finally moved to Moscow.

At some point, the young man even dreamed of becoming a pilot. civil aviation. But this was also not destined to come true because of the boy's poor eyesight. At that time, he did not even think about a musical career.

A sharp turn in the biography of Yuri Magomayev occurred after the death of Muslim Magometovich, who died on October 25, 2008. Until then, Yuri worked as a musician and DJ in various restaurants in the capital. Obviously, the father's creed, which said that there should not be two Magomayevs, had an effect.

Magomaev family

Few people knew that Yura's father, the eldest Yuri Magomayev, was the brother of Muslim Magomayev. In his youth, the Murmansk musician often had cases when he was shamelessly asked about his family, and in particular about the great and famous relative. It irritated him greatly when strangers climbed into the soul like that. And he hid it from strangers. Only the most trusted friends knew that Yuri was Muslim's mother's brother.

The depth of the history of the Magomayev family begins with the fact that the unknown girl Aishet in the forties became the wife of Magomet Magomayev, who worked as a theater artist in Baku. In 1942, the couple had a child, a boy, who was named Muslim. The father of the family, like many men then, went to the front. He went through the whole war, almost to the end. He died in May forty-fifth, not having lived a few days before the victory.

Aishet Akhmedovna Magomaeva was a provincial actress and often went on tour. It was decided to leave little Muslim with his father's brother in Baku. The child showed a talent for musical art and he needed to get an appropriate education. And with the nomadic life of the mother, this was impossible.

procreation

Aishet toured different cities: Tver, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Ulan-Ude, Chimkent and many others. Life went on, and at some point Muslim's mother met Leonty Kavka in the capital of Buryatia. He was her colleague in creativity, they performed on the same stage. Here in 1958 Magomaev Yuri Leontievich was born. Aishet never entered into an official marriage with Leonty Kafka, although they lived all their lives together in civil marriage. Yuri Leontyevich recalls with philosophical nostalgia that he still had a dash in his birth certificate opposite the father column.

The musician buried his parents a long time ago. Father who worked in Lately at the Murmansk Drama Theatre, died almost thirty years ago, and his mother lived to retire and died in 2003.

But then, back in 1971, thirteen-year-old Yuri was just beginning. While studying at a music school, the talented keyboardist simultaneously played in the vocal and instrumental ensemble "Constellation" of the Railway Workers' Palace of Culture on Oktyabrskaya. All this he managed even then at a fairly high professional level. At that time, each palace of culture was assigned its own ensemble. The participants of such VIA were, for the most part, graduates and students of music schools. It was full-time staff and, according to all the rules, received wages as musical professionals.

Creativity of the past years

In the seventies, the main place of entertainment for young people were discos. Young people got to know each other and often at such events a new unit of society was born. In the Palace of Culture, where Yuri Magomayev, Muslim Magomayev's brother, played, as part of the Constellation, people were often packed twice as much as planned. Yuri warmly recalls those times, that atmosphere of the holiday. He still meets with members of his then ensemble: bass player Sasha Ignatenko, drummer Vitya Varnik, guitarist Andrey Karpenko. With vocalist Vyacheslav Usov, Yuri Valentinovich is still collaborating in the musical field.

In the early 80s, more than twenty restaurants operated in Murmansk. Many had their own live music ensemble. Sailors were frequent visitors of that time. They moved our musical progress, bringing from abroad vinyl records of modern popular performers. So Yuri Magomaev Sr. got acquainted with the work of the legendary groups Deep Purple, Animals and Eagles. The composition of the latter was an undoubted hit in Murmansk restaurants, which Yuri performed by ear with his group on frequent orders from visitors.

Career opportunities

In 1985, the father of Yuri Yuryevich Magomayev and his ensemble opened the prestigious Meridian restaurant. At this event, he was spotted by the founder of the then most popular VIA Pesnyary. Yuri was invited to try to work with the ensemble, not only as a keyboardist, but also as a singer. Magomayev refused, joking: "Which of me is a Belarusian."

Ten years before this incident, Yuri rejected an invitation to participate in the Arai group, which later gained popularity under the name A-Studio.

In the 90s, he received an offer to settle in Finland as a professional performer, but here, as a singer, Yuri Magomayev did not take place.

The legacy of the Magomayevs

The son of Yuri Leontievich experiments in his songs with such directions as pop, chanson, rock, jazz, mixing them in search of new unique compositions. After the release of the album "Fly away" our hero is preparing new pieces of music. Many of them have already seen the light and have undoubted popularity.

A separate moment in the biography of Yuri Magomaev is a meeting with the father of the popular performer Katya Ogonyok - Evgeny Penkhasov. This man became a very close person and mentor for Yuri.

On Saturday, March 3, the broadcast of the Tonight program with Yulia Menshova was dedicated to the memory of the legendary performer and composer Muslim Magomayev. Relatives and friends of the artist gathered in the transfer studio, who shared their memories of him. The widow of the star Tamara Sinyavskaya became the guest of honor. The romance between her and Magomayev began in Baku in the autumn of 1972. A couple of years later, the lovers registered a relationship.

In secular circles, the relationship between Sinyavskaya and Magomayev was often discussed. It was rumored that sometimes serious passions boiled in their house. At times, the singer even left for Baku to recover. It is known that in the artist's life there was such a moment when he seriously quarreled with his wife, but Magomayev's marriage was saved by the song "Farewell, beloved."

“We were all worried. And not only us, a lot of people, including the editors of the All-Union Radio. And then we wrote such a song for Tamara. It so happened that when this song sounded, they reconciled, ”the authors of the composition Alexandra Pakhmutova and Nikolai Dobronravov shared.

Presenter Julia Menshova asked Tamara Sinyavskaya to talk about what preceded the writing of this song. Answering this question, the artist revealed the reasons why she quarreled with her husband.

“Well, as always happens, but how? Temperaments, characters, already adults, behind everyone's back, so to speak ... We met when he was 30 years old, but I won't tell you how old. I already had the Bolshoi Theater hanging - not as a train or cargo, but as a royal mantle. Of course, all this was not just. But when he appeared nearby, there was none of this - no mantles and royal crowns, ”said the singer.

In the first marriage, Magomayev had a daughter, Marina. At the moment, she lives in America with her relatives - her husband Alexander Kozlovsky (son of the author of the lyrics to the song "Blue Eternity") and heir Allen. The program aired an interview with relatives of the famous artist. “I remember the dacha, I remember Muslim, although I was only four years old. I remember how I swam in the pool, and Muslim walked nearby and conducted, ”recalls Magomayev’s grandson.

Tamara Sinyavskaya considers her husband's daughter from her first marriage to be very talented. After Magomayev divorced her mother Ophelia, he continued to communicate with the heiress.

“That's not the right word. But this was already a conversation between an adult and a growing daughter, who had already begun to understand what music is. She is very musical, but for some reason she graduated from a geographical institute ... And Alex [Alexander Kozlovsky], by the way, is a singer. He had a clear, beautiful voice when he was young. But then he grew up and decided to become the husband of Muslim's daughter, - said Sinyavskaya, laughing. - Alex went to America and took Marina there. Now she is a mother."

The popularity of Muslim Magomayev was phenomenal. A live queue for his solo albums lined up a few weeks before the concert, and on the cherished day, the halls and stadiums literally burst from the number of spectators, entrance doors carried away by crowds of fans. He was not just a favorite of the public, an idol - he was a fetish, an idol, a deity. They literally carried him in their arms - they lifted the car with him, sitting in the cabin, and carried him. He was worshiped, he was idolized ...

About the vicissitudes of fame

Surprisingly, People's Artist of the USSR Muslim Magomayev did not differ in arrogance and did not boast of his glory. On the contrary, he was very skeptical of her. Once, Irina Ivanovna Maslennikova, the wife of another idol, Sergei Yakovlevich Lemeshev, whom her husband’s fans even splashed acid in her face, told Muslim Magomayev’s wife Tamara Sinyavskaya: “I understand you like no one else. My fate was similar to yours." True, Sinyavskaya managed without poisons, but her husband was pursued fairly.

“There are very unpleasant sides to popularity,” Magomaev said, “when, for example, buttons are torn off, clothes are torn off. I remember in Leningrad from the performance “The Barber of Seville” my shoes from the dressing room whistled, and then they told me that they were cut into small pieces and distributed to those who were especially thirsty ... It's hard. Not because popularity as such is hard. Of course, the love of the audience is pleasant.”

About cultures and religions

Magomayev, who combined two cultures - Azerbaijani and Russian, was a man, in his words, "extremely international."

“I formulated this for myself,” the artist said, “Azerbaijan is my father, Russia is my mother. Yes, I grew up in Baku, but honestly, I can’t say that I preferred Eastern culture. At home, we spoke only Russian, and at school, Azerbaijani was not required for learning. So if I understand Azerbaijani language, but I don’t know how to speak it myself.

I lived in an international family, and many bloods were combined in me. On the paternal side - Azerbaijani and Tatar, on the mother's side - Adyghe, Turkish and Russian. musical culture I comprehended on European and Russian music, but we did not pass the national one. Although I have a lot of respect for her.

Just like any religion. Not giving preference to any one. I am against any radicalism. I have read the Quran, I know the Bible and the Gospels well, I have seriously studied other religions, and nowhere have I read a single line about the denial of other religions. I can equally go to a mosque, a Buddhist temple, and an Orthodox one.

About ancestors

The singer received his name in honor of his grandfather, Abdul-Muslim Magomayev, an outstanding Azerbaijani composer and conductor, one of the founders of Azerbaijani classical music. The grandson did not catch his famous predecessor, who passed away five years before his birth - in 1937. However, from early childhood, he was aware of the responsibility for such a relationship: “Suffice it to say that the Azerbaijan State Philharmonic Society in Baku is named after Muslim Magomayev, my grandfather and namesake.”

The father of the future Soviet idol - Magomed, younger son Abdul-Muslim Magomayev and his wife Baidigyul, was also musically gifted, sang superbly and played various instruments. However, he did not become a professional musician.

“He creatively realized himself as a theater artist, worked in the theaters of Baku, Maykop,” the singer recalled. - They say he was very talented. I know that he went to the front as a volunteer and died in the rank of senior sergeant a few days before the Victory - in the German town of Kustrin. And he was buried in Poland. As an adult, I found his grave."

With his mother, Magomayev had difficult relationship. Aishet Akhmedovna Magomayeva (stage name Kinzhalova) was a dramatic actress.

“After the notification of the death of her father, she left for the Maykop Drama Theater, where she once met him. But my mother never worked for a long time in any theater. In connection with her constant movements around the cities of Russia, she left me at an early age in the care of my grandmother Baidigyul and uncle Jamal, my father's older brother. My mother appeared in Baku occasionally, always suddenly and also unexpectedly disappeared. Over time, she formed another family, and I can’t blame her for anything. ”

About childhood

“As a child, I began to grow wildly, and smart people advised me to take up the barbell so that I would not turn into “Uncle Styopa”. I enrolled in the weightlifting section and began to attend it regularly. Bully in school years I wasn't, but I didn't have good behavior either. I did everything that a boy was supposed to do - burned tape in class, threw away diaries with bad grades ... As a child, I was affectionately called Musik, and another boy - my classmate and friend, an Armenian Rudolf - Rudik. Since we were naughty for a couple, it was constantly written on the blackboard in the class: “Musik and Rudik again behaved badly, violated school discipline.”

The gifted naughty began to sing at the age of three, and at the age of five he composed his first melody. Many years later, together with the poet Anatoly Gorokhov, Magomayev wrote the song Nightingale Hour based on her.

Muslim did not have a transitional period for the voice, the so-called "breaking", which occurs in boys in the puberty period. Just at the age of 14, the boyish treble was replaced by a baritone - thus, inimitable Magomaevsky. Which the teenager was so embarrassed at first that, in secret from everyone, he ran away to a secluded place on the shore of the Caspian Sea - and sang there, straining his ligaments to shout over the sound of the surf. “I couldn’t help but sing,” Magomayev recalled.

About marriages

“The first time I got married very early, at the age of 19, while studying at a music school. On a classmate named Ophelia. Folly, of course, youthful, mixed up on the principle: fell in love - get married. Of course, the marriage did not last long. My family was initially against this marriage, but I was stubborn. We signed in secret, and I simply put my family before the fact.

He moved to live with his young wife, but coexistence with her relatives did not work out. They demanded one thing from me - that I go out of my way to make money. But I was attracted only by music, I wanted to sing at the opera house. In general, this marriage was good only because my daughter Marina was born in it. It is very valuable for me that Marina and I are very close.

Muslim Magometovich considered his second marriage to be an unregistered family union with Lyudmila Borisovna Kareva - music editor of the All-Union Radio. Due to the fact that in Soviet time it was forbidden for a man and a woman who did not formalize their relationship in the registry office to live in the same hotel room; on tour, the couple constantly had problems. They were removed with one stroke of the pen by the then Minister of Internal Affairs Nikolai Shchelokov. Having heard about the current situation at one of the banquets, he wrote a resolution right there under his signature, according to which the marriage between the said citizens should be considered actual and their joint accommodation in hotels should be allowed. But even despite such high patronage, the union eventually broke up.

About the woman of all life

Magomayev called Tamara Sinyavskaya "the woman of her life."

“Tamara assures that before I paid attention to her, we were introduced at concerts three times,” the singer said. But I don't remember anything like that. But I perfectly remembered her as a great opera singer when I watched the broadcast from the Concert Hall. Tchaikovsky. And we began to communicate in the 72nd year, on October 3 - in a decade of days Russian culture in Baku".

Acquaintance with Magomayev turned the well-established life of 29-year-old Tamara. Feeling that she had fallen into a whirlpool of love, which she was not able to resist, she - a married woman - did one last try to maintain her former stable and prosperous existence, and three months after they met, she literally ran away from Muslim. She left for Italy - for an internship at the La Scala theater.

But the separation only marked the beginning of the novel - first by telephone. Muslim, spoiled by the adoration of millions of women, called his only chosen one several times every day, and they talked for hours.

About the wedding

“We got married on November 23, 1974, having survived difficult period- Tamara had to decide to divorce her husband. But even then we “pulled” for a long time with the formalization of relations, somehow we were not internally ready, apparently, everyone tested each other for strength.

Magomayev and Sinyavskaya played the wedding in a restaurant on Profsoyuznaya Street. There were 100 guests in the hall, and three times as many people gathered on the street. And Muslim sang to the assembled people for about an hour through the open windows. And then, as Tamara recalled, he was treated for bronchitis for three months.

About a sore throat

Muslim Magomayev - a singer with unique vocal abilities, from the age of 19 became addicted to smoking and smoked almost non-stop, several packs of cigarettes a day. At the same time, he suffered from chronic tracheitis and bronchitis.

“Once I flew in to perform at a national concert in Kemerovo, at the stadium,” the singer recalled. - And on the same day he fell ill: the temperature was under 39 degrees. Red eyes, chills, uncomfortable even to appear in public. People will see - they will think: drunk. And I asked the organizers to prepare a soundtrack for me. Very rarely I used it, only in the Palace of Congresses - forcedly. There it was impossible otherwise, the leadership was afraid of live sound, and suddenly someone would say something about Brezhnev.

This unfortunate phonogram was prepared for me, and I trudged to the piano. Well, I slammed on the keys and I'm waiting for my "plywood". But instead of a sound, I hear a mosquito squeak. She didn't turn on. And in horror, I ka-a-ak yelled "Along the St. Petersburg." And then he sang to the end everything that he had to.

I lost my voice twice. Shortly before the anniversary of Alla Borisovna Pugacheva, where I was supposed to sing, I was just left without a voice. The doctor said, "You can't even whisper." Well, I was silent for a day, I look - it seems nothing. I took my favorite Coca-Cola from the refrigerator, poured it into a mug, put ice in it, got drunk, sat down at the piano and started to drive. Two days later, everything went fine - the voice turned on.

Magomayev left the big stage without any loud statements, "final tours" and "farewell concerts". Just one day he stopped performing, giving a very modest comment about his departure into the shadows: “I sang a lot and for quite a long time. It's time to give way to the young."

Muslim Magometovich (Mohammed ogly) Magomayev (Azerb. Müslüm Məhəmməd oğlu Maqomayev). Born on August 17, 1942 in Baku - died on October 25, 2008 in Moscow. Soviet, Azerbaijani and Russian opera and pop singer (baritone), composer. People's Artist of the USSR (1973).

Father - Magomet Magomayev, artist, son of the famous Azerbaijani composer, founder of Azerbaijani classical music Muslim Magomayev (now the musical philharmonic in Baku bears his name). Father's mother (Baghdagul-Jamal) was a Tatar.

Mother - Aishet Akhmedovna (stage name - Kinzhalova), dramatic actress. Her father was a Turk, and her mother had Adyghe and Russian roots.

Muslim Magomayev considered himself an Azerbaijani. He said: "Azerbaijan is my father, Russia is my mother."

Muslim Magomayev hardly remembered his father - he died at the front near Berlin, three days before the end of the war.

Mother, having lost her husband, chose theater career and went to Vyshny Volochek, then to Murmansk, where she worked in the Murmansk Regional Drama Theater and got married again. On the mother's side, Muslim has a brother, Yuri, and a sister, Tatyana.

Muslim grew up in the family of his uncle Jamal Muslimovich Magomayev.

The singer said about his childhood: “The post-war fate of my mother turned out to be such that she found another family. I can’t blame her for anything. She is a dramatic actress, she always wandered around the cities of Russia, never working for a long time in any theater.

Native brother Father Jamaletdin Magomaev and his wife Maria Ivanovna became real parents for me. They were smart people and amazingly read a lot. Orders in our family were strictly observed. Uncle was a convinced communist, honest and incorruptible. At a time when my tutor held high government positions, an unworthy nephew was asked at school from time to time not to wear a pioneer tie. This did not upset me: the tie seemed to me, first of all, an uncomfortable thing, it choked me and all the time strove to get into the inkwell with its ends.

Despite the fact that my uncle was a high-ranking person, I was not spoiled. I had toys, normal conditions for studying and playing music, but no frills. I remember when I started begging my aunt for money, she refused: "When you grow up, you will earn money yourself, then you will understand how the money comes."

He studied at the music school at the Baku Conservatory (now the secondary special music school named after Bulbul) in piano and composition.

The talented student was noticed by the professor of the conservatory cellist Vladimir Anshelevich, who began to give him lessons. Anshelevich did not set the voice, but showed how to fillet it. The experience gained in the classes with the cello professor came in handy when Magomayev began working on the part of Figaro in The Barber of Seville.

Since there was no vocal department at the school, Muslim was admitted to the Baku Musical College named after Asaf Zeynalli in 1956, studied with the teacher Alexander Milovanov and his long-term accompanist Tamara Kretingen, which he graduated in 1959.

His first performance took place in Baku, in the House of Culture of Baku Sailors, where fifteen-year-old Muslim went in secret from his family. The family was against Muslim's early performances because of the risk of losing his voice. However, Muslim himself decided that his voice had already been formed and that he was not in danger of losing his voice.

In 1961, Magomayev made his debut in the professional Song and Dance Ensemble of the Baku Military District. In 1962, Magomayev became a laureate of the World Festival of Youth and Students in Helsinki for his performance of the song "Buchenwald Alarm".

All-Union fame came after his performance in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses at the final concert of the Azerbaijani Art Festival in 1962.

The first solo concert of Muslim Magomayev took place on November 10, 1963 in the Concert Hall. Tchaikovsky.

In 1963, Magomayev became a soloist with the Azerbaijan Opera and Ballet Theater named after. Akhundov, continues to perform on the concert stage.

In 1964-1965 he trained at the Milan theater "La Scala" (Italy).

In the 1960s he performed in largest cities Soviet Union in the performances "Tosca" and "The Barber of Seville" (among partners - Maria Bieshu). He did not accept the offer to join the troupe of the Bolshoi Theater, not wanting to limit himself to opera performances.

In 1966 and 1969, Muslim Magomayev's tour of the famous Olympia theater in Paris was a great success. The director of Olympia, Bruno Coquatrix, offered Magomayev a contract for a year, promising to make him an international star. The singer seriously considered such an opportunity, but the Ministry of Culture of the USSR refused, citing the fact that Magomayev should perform at government concerts.

In the late 1960s, having learned that the Rostov Philharmonic was in financial difficulties, and the Song and Dance Ensemble of the Don Cossacks did not have decent costumes for the planned tour in Moscow, Magomayev agreed to help by performing in Rostov-on-Don at a crowded local stadium, accommodating 45 thousand people. It was planned that Magomayev would perform in only one department, but he spent more than two hours on stage. For this performance, he was paid 606 rubles, instead of 202 rubles, which were then laid down by law for speaking in one department. The administrators assured him that such a rate was quite legal and approved by the Ministry of Culture, but this turned out not to be the case. This speech became the reason for initiating a criminal case through the OBHSS.

When this was reported to Magomayev, who spoke at the Paris Olympia, the emigrant circles offered him to stay, but Magomayev chose to return to the USSR, because he could not imagine life away from his homeland and understood that emigration could put his relatives in a difficult situation in the USSR.

Although the proceedings did not reveal any guilt of Magomayev, who signed for the money received in the official statement, nevertheless, the USSR Ministry of Culture forbade Magomayev to perform tours outside of Azerbaijan. Using his free time, Magomayev passed all the exams and graduated from the Baku Conservatory in the singing class of Shovket Mammadova only in 1968. The disgrace of Magomayev ended after the chairman of the KGB of the USSR personally called Ekaterina Furtseva and demanded that Magomayev perform at a concert on the occasion of the anniversary of the KGB, saying that everything was clean with Magomayev through the KGB.

He had an affair with a popular singer in the 1970s Svetlana Rezanova (performer of the hit "I want to invite you to dance, and only you!"). "How not to fall in love with him?
